Family Feuds in Trusts

Trusts are fertile sources of disputes and litigation among family members. These disputes can be debilitating – time-consuming and costly for family members, trusts and trustees. This puts an emphasis on early and careful planning to avoid conflict and swiftly moving to defuse conflicts once they arise before they end in litigation. This program will cover sources of dispute, including inequality of distirbutions, control of family businesses, children from different marriages; solutions to specific problems; trustee issues; and the use of buy/sell agreements to avoid disputes.
